Dr. Michael Jacoby - Public School Funding

Dr. Mike Jacoby, Executive Director of the Illinois Association of School Business Officials, discussed how Illinois's existing school funding model was changed into a new Evidence Based Model, using 27-30 criteria on what schools need to provide for a quality education. Jacoby also reviewed the old school funding model and the creation of Vision 20/20, which eventually built support for the effort to legislatively pass a new school funding model.
